Often the more popular pavilions are reserved weeks, even months in advance. The set procedures are set forth to provide a higher degree of probability that all parties have an opportunity to use the pavilion. Reserving the pavilion and not using them potentially denies someone else the opportunity to use the pavilion. The fee is necessary to help cover some of the expense of the park and pavilion maintenance.
